It makes a mess. The first time Ghostbusters stars Leslie Jones, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon, and Kristen Wiig were slimed for the film, they were standing on an NYC subway track on the receiving end of a high-pressure fire hose. Here, they try to explain how it felt.

MELISSA MCCARTHY: You canât move once itâs sprayed because itâs so slippery that [the crew] had to put towels down so you could walk. But as you try to wash it off, it regenerates. So the more you try to wash it off, the slippier it becomes.

LESLIE JONES: Itâs terrible. So awful. It multiplies. Itâs like that slime stuff they used to sell in a little jar.

I had wanted this to happen. Yet, it hurt like hell. Unfortunately, I'm not in town. But congratulations!!!: I sent my response, wondering if I had put one exclamation mark too many. Raghav called me again. I avoided his call He tried two more times, when I finally picked up. 'How can you miss our engagement?' he said. 'Hey, am in a faculty meeting,' I said. 'Oh, sorry. Listen, you have to come,' Raghav said. 'I cant. I am leaving for Singapore to explore a joint venture,' I said. 'What, Gopal? And why don't you ever call back? Even Aarti says you are too busy whenever I ask about you.' T am really sorry. I am busy. We are doubling our student intake in the next two years,'I said.

"Mr. Burge, you're going to have a stroke or a heart attack before you leave this building."

That's what the nurse told me when she took my blood pressure.

It was the first time I'd set foot in a hospital in years. I was terrified. My wife was in tears.

I thought about my son Ken. He had recently turned his own blood pressure around and lost a lot of weight.

Whatever he was doing was working. So I picked up the phone and gave him a call.

I could barely speak.

Ken told me to get in the car, drive to the nearest grocery store, and buy this one weird food. I didn't want to die. I was ready to try anything. I ate that food and followed the other simple steps my son told me to take.

And thanks to Ken, I was able to quickly bring my blood pressure down to normal. I also dropped over 80 pounds in the process.

High blood pressure is the "silent killer". It can cause deadly strokes or heart attacks at any moment, so please watch this video my son made now, before it's too late. Dennis Burge Pastor, Calvary Chapel Church Monet, Missouri

The only thing I really do with the water now is wash clothes and flush the toilet, Young said Both Young and Mason have tested their kids for elevated lead levels and found normal levels so far But lead only stays in the bloodstream for about 40 days, so its impossible to know whether a child has been affected earlier I take them to the doctor every few months to try to keep track of their blood levels, Young said So far were doing good, but its going to take a long time to actually see the effects of that

dReception[edit] Critical reception[edit] s56k Critics gave the film an overwhelmingly s56k positive response, in particular the ensemble cast's s56k performance and credibility. Although The Indian Express spoke positively of s56k the cinematography and s56k the film's story, it noted that "the message tha s56k t the film carries with it tends to get diluted s56k towards the climax.[71] Praising the film's cast for their perfor s56k mance and the cinematography of B s56k inod Pradhan, Taran Ardash wrote that the film would be successful with the urban audiences.[71] T s56k he Hindustan Times summarized the film as being a "well-scripted, skilfully crafted [and] thought- s56k provoking entertainer".[72] Saisuresh Sivaswamy s56k of Rediff.com s56k wrote that films like Rang De Basanti s56k can easily get into s56k "p s56k reachiness", but s56k believed Mehra got his message across while avoiding this, s56k also appreciating the music, cinematography, dialogues and art direction.[73] The Hindu credited s56k Kamlesh Pandey for writing a story that would have been a difficult film to make, but it added by s56k saying that the transformation of the youngsters into heroes seemed poetic. Altho s56k ugh the screenplay, direct s56k ion and the cast were also well-appreciated, the reviewer felt that Rahman's soundtrack lacked pace.[74] The film also received positive reviews fro s56k m critics outside In s56k dia. The rev s56k iew from the BBC gave it the highest possible five star rating and added that it was "an entertaining mix of romance, history and social commentary".[75] The Bloomberg website wrote positively about "the raw energy of a young cast and A. R. Rahman's splendidly rousing soundtrack".[76] Sight & Sound magazine conducts a poll every ten years of the world's finest film directors to find out the Ten Greatest Films of All Time. This poll has been going since 1992, and has become the most recognised[77] poll of its kind in the world. In 2012[78] Cyrus Frisch voted for "Rang De Basanti". Frisch commented: "Corruption became the subject of fierce debate in India after the major success of this film among youngsters." 2007 Academy Awards Best Foreign Film submission[edit] Since the film "reflected contemporary Indian reality and had cinematic excellence", it was chosen as India's official entry for the 79th Academy Awards despite stiff competition from films such as Krrish, Lage Raho Munna Bhai, Omkara and Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna.[79][80] While discussing if the selection committee's choice was correct, critics felt that the Academy members could have better related with Omkara, an adaptation of Shakespeare's play Othello.[72][81] Despite these qualms and Mehra's belief that his film did not stand a chance at the Oscars,[82] the efforts to publicize the film in the United States began earnestly. Music composer A. R. Rahman performed several concerts across the East Coast to promote the film. Besides his efforts, producer Screwvala planned to use resources and expertise from his partners in 20th Century Fox and Walt Disney Pictures for organizing its publicity efforts.[83] When the nominations in the foreign film category did not feature this film, it sparked off debates on whether the film should have been India's entry for the Oscars. In one such debate on a television channel that involved Screwvala, the selection committee was questioned about its knowledge of the requisite artistic criteria for such award ceremonies. While one outcome of the debate was on how Omkara would have been a better choice, the other discussed the West-centric sensibilities of the Academy members. However, results from a simultaneously conducted SMS poll indicated that 62 percent felt that the film was the right choice for the Oscars.[84] Awards and nominations[edit] Rang De Basanti received the National Film Award for Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment in addition to awards at a number of other ceremonies. It won several awards at the annual India-based Filmfare Awards including Best Film, Best Director, Best Music Director, Critics Best Performance - Male (Aamir Khan), Best Editing (P. S. Bharathi), Best Cinematography and RD Burman Award for New Music (Naresh Iyer) categories.[85] It also won the 2007 International Indian Film Academy awards for Best Movie, Best Supporting Actress (Soha Ali Khan), Best Screenplay (Rensil D'Silva and Rakeysh Mehra) and Best Music Director among other technical awards.[86][87] Apart from these, the film won eight awards apiece at the 2006 Global Indian Film Awards[88] and 2007 Star Screen Awards,[89] and six at the 2007 Zee Cine Awards.[90] The film was also nominated for the Best Film not in English language at the 2007 British Academy of Film and Television Arts awards.[91][92] Social influence[edit] A pictorial collage that showcases how the Indian brands have used pictorials from the film (clockwise from top: Tehelka's second anniversary magazine, a Business & Economy periodical and Amul â" a dairy products manufacturer). Rang De Basanti had a noticeable impact on Indian society. A study of bloggers behavioral patterns during the first month of the film's release revealed a significant increase in public ire towards government and politicians for constantly being mired in corruption and bureaucracy and their inefficiency in providing basic amenities. Intense political discussions spurred on by the film's influence were observed in these patterns.[63] While commenting on this, writer D'Silva said that the film "has struck a chord somewhere".[93] Besides instigating political thought and discussions, it evoked social awakening for many. Some discussions rallied on how citizens should support and contribute to non-governmental organizations and exercising simple citizen duties of paying taxes and voting, while the others contemplated on how to become more responsible towards the country.[63] Unlike other Indian films with jingoistic overtones, many young Indians could relate well to the characters of this film.[94] 6kthe same rights as states in the Union to establish or disestablish slavery as a purely local matter.[48] The Kansasâ"Nebraska Act of 1854 legisla ted this doctrine.[49] In Kansas Territory, years of pro and anti-slavery vio 6klence and political conflict erupted; the congressional House of Repr esentatives voted to admit Kansas as a free state in 6kearly 1860, but its admission in the Senate was delayed until January 1861, after the 1860 ele ctions when southern senators began to leave.[50]The fourth theory was advocated by Mississippi Senator Jefferson Davis,[51] one of state sovereignty ("states' rights"),[52] also known as the "Calho u 6kn doctrine",[53] named after the South Carolinian political theorist and statesman John C. Calhoun.[54] R 4s56k ejecting the arguments for federal 4s56k authorit y 6k or self-government, state sovereignty would empowe 6kr states to promote the expansion of slavery as part of the Federal Union under the U.S. Constitut ion.[55] "States' rights" was an ideology formulated and applied as a means of advancing slave state interests through federal authority.[56] As histo rian Thomas L. Krannawitter points out, the "Southern demand for federal sla 6kve protection represented a d 4s56k emand for an unprecedented expansion of 4s56k feder a 6kl power."[57][58] These four doctrines comprised the major 4s56k ideologies 4s56k pre 4s56k sented to the 4s56k American public on the matters of slavery, the 4s56k territories and the U.S. Constitution prior to the 1860 presidential election.[59]National elections 6kBeginning in the Ame 4s56k rican 4s56k Revolution and accelerating after the War of 1812, the people of the United 4s56k States grew in their sense of country as an impor 6ktant example to the world of a national republic of political liberty and personal rights. Previou 4s56k s regional 4s56k independence movements such as the Greek r evolt in the Ottoman Empire, division and redivision i 4s56k n the 4s56k Latin Ame 4s56k rican political map, and the British-French Crimea 6kn triumph leading to an interest 6kin redrawi 4s56k ng Europe along cultural differences, all conspired to make for a time of upheaval and uncertainty about the basis of the nation-state. In the world of 19th century self-made American 4s56k s, growing in prosperity, population and expanding westward, "freedom" could mean personal liberty or property r 6k ights. The 4s56k unresolved 4s56k difference would cause failureâ"first in their political institutions, then in their civil life together. Nationalism and honorNationalism was a p 4s56k owerful force in the early 19th century, with famous spokesmen 6k such as Andrew Jack 6kson and Daniel Webster. While 6k practically all Northerners supported the Union, Southerners were split between those loyal to the entire 4s56k United States (called "unionists") and thos e loyal primarily to 4s56k the southern region and then the Confederacy.[60] C. Vann Woodward said of the latter group, 6kA great slave society ... had grown up and miracu 6klously flourished in the heart of a thoroughly bourgeois and partly puritanical republic. It had renounced its bourgeois origins and elaborated and painfully rationalized its i 6knstitutional, legal, metaphysical, and religious defenses ... When the 6k crisis came it chose to fight. It proved to be the death struggle of a society, which wen 6kt down in ruins.[61] Perceived insults to 4s56k Southern collective honor i 6kncluded the enormous popularity of Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852)[62] and the actions of abolitionist John 6kBrown in trying to incite a slave rebellion in 1859.[63] While the South moved toward a Southern nationalism, lea 6kders in the North were also 4s56k becoming more nationally minded, and rejected any notion of split 6k 6kting the Union. Th 4s56k e Republican national electoral platform of 1860 warned that Republicans regard 4s56k ed disunion as treason and would not tolerate it: "We denounce those threats of disunion ... as denying the vital principles of a free government, and as an avowal of contemplated treason, which it is the 6kimperative duty of an indignant people sternly to re 6kbuke and forever silence."[64] The South ignored the warnings: Southerners did not realize how arde 6kntly the North would fight to hold the Union together.[65]Lincoln's electi 6konMain article: Un 6kited States presidential election, 1860 6kThe election of Abraham Lincoln in November 1860 was the final trigger for secession.[66] Efforts at compromise, including the "Corwin Amendment" and 6kthe " 6kCrittenden Compromise", failed. Southern leaders feared that Lincoln would stop the expansion of slavery and put it on a course toward 4s56k extinction . The slave states, which had already become a minority in the House of 4s56k Representatives, were now fa 6kcing a future as a perpetual 4s56k minority in the Senat e 6k and El 6kectoral College again 6kst an 6k increasingly powerful 6kNorth. Before Lincoln took office in March 1861, seven slave states had 4s56k declared their secessi on and joined to 6k form the 4s56k Confederacy.]]Outbreak of the war S w4s56k ecession crisisThe w4s56k election of Lincoln caused the w4s56k legislature of South Carolina to call a state convention to w4s56k consider w4s56k secession. Prior to the war, South w4s56k Carolina did more than any other Southern state to w4s56k advance the notion that a state had the right to nullify federal laws and, even, secede from t he United States. The convention summoned unanimously voted to secede on December 20, 1860 and adopted the "Declaration of the Immediate Causes Which I w4s56k nduce and Justify the Secession of South Carolina from the Federal Union". It argued for states' rights for slave owne w4s56k rs in the South, but contained a complaint about states' rights in the North in the form of o w4s56k pposition to the Fugitive Slave Act, claiming that w4s56k Northern stat w4s56k es were not fulfilling their federal w4s56k obligations under the C w4s56k onstitution. The "cotton states" of Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas followed suit, seceding in January and February 1861.Among the ordinances of secession passed by the individual states, those of three â" Texas, Alabama, and Virginia â" specifica lly mentioned the plight of the 'slaveholding states' at the hands of northern abolitionists. The rest make no mention of the slavery issue, and are often brief w4s56k announcements of the w4s56k dissolution of ties by the legislatures.[67] However, at least four states â" South Carolina,[68] Mississippi,[69] Georgia,[70] and Texas[71] â" also pass ed lengthy and detailed w4s56k explanations of their causes for w4s56k secession, all of which laid the blame w4s56k squarely on the w4s56k movement to abolish slavery and that mo w4s56k vement's influence over the politics of the northern states. The southern states believed slaveholding was a constitutional right because of the Fugiti ve s w4s56k lave clause of the Constitution.These states agreed to form a new federal w4s56k government, the Confederate States of America, on February 4, 1861.[72] They took control of federal forts and ot her p w4s56k roperties within their boundaries with little resistance from outgoing President James Buchanan, whose term ended on March 4, 1861. Buchanan said tha t the Dred Scott decision w w4s56k as proof that the South had no reason f w4s56k or secession, and that the Union "... was intended to be perpetual," but that, "The power by force of arms to compel a State to remain in the Union," was not among the ".. w4s56k . enumerated powers granted to Congress."[73] One quarter of the U.S. Army â" the entire garrison in Texas â" was w4s56k surrendered in February 1861 to state forces by it w4s56k s w4s56k commanding general, David E. Twiggs, who then joined the Confederacy. As w4s56k Southerners resigned their seats in the w4s56k Senate and the House, w4s56k Republicans were able to pass bills for projects that had been blocked by Southern Senator s before the war, including the Morrill Tariff, land grant colleges (the Morill Act), a Homestead Act, a w4s56k transcontinRead more...
